Nautico Lounge

Nautico Lounge in Weymouth is one of those reliably roomy café-bars that can handle coffee, brunch, lunch, dinner or drinks without making a fuss about what sort of visit it is supposed to be. As part of the Lounges group, it has the brand's usual colourful, laid-back style, and importantly dogs are welcome inside. That makes it an easy all-rounder for Weymouth days when the group wants somewhere casual enough for a quick stop but comfortable enough to stay longer.

The menu covers all-day eating and drinking, so whether it's morning coffee, a proper lunch or evening drinks, there's something useful on offer. Open every day from 9am (until 11pm Sunday to Thursday, midnight Friday and Saturday), the relaxed vibe suits groups with mixed plans, and the dog-friendly policy means nobody has to split up or take turns on pavement duty.

A very useful covers-all-bases kind of venue, especially when plans are vague and appetites are not. One dog snoozing under the table fits the scene perfectly, and the all-day flexibility makes it a handy Weymouth stop for paws and people together.
